[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aidenpearce1415:
Hey guys! i bought a HTC Desire 516 a year ago. a few months back i found out about rooting. so i rooted my phone. It worked really well for a while. I noticed my games were a bit laggy. So i found this app called Chainfire3D. i tried installing it. My phone rebooted and did not go past the Bootscreen. I spent weeks searching all the formus including XDA. i found awesome solutions(especially in XDA) but none worked for me:(. I guess i know why it doesn't. I did not install CWM or TWRP on my device(my fault). Now all i can do is, boot into recovery mode and use adb to type random commands, again none works. Is there any other way around this? i thought of flashing CWM or TWRP through adb and then use the given solution. But i have no idea how to do so(I am a noob). Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.:)

Try flashing it with stock ROM, this will help you and after flashing getting bootloop again dont worry its normal just do a hard reset and than you're good to go.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salman Al-Badgail:
Try this below link for Hard Reset, I found it on HTC website,

http://www.htc.com/in/support/htc-desire-516-dual-sim/howto/527577.html

Still not working try this

Press together Power Button + Volume Down together for several second until the white menu appear

Navigate menu with Volume button to go to Factory Reset, to choose or enter press POWER Button

The HTC DESIRE 516 DUAL will do the master reset for several minutes, just wait until it finish.

GoodLuck :) :good:

Still having problems please let me know :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salman Al-Badgail:
It will not work, because you already flashed it with stock ROM, so no root access, All I suggest you to is go to service centre and ask them to solve this problem.

So I am wanting to get rid of my pos 6s plus... I was looking at the v10 or the nexus 6p..which do you guys think is best?

Here are a few questions I had on the v10...

How are the cameras ? And how's the front for selfies ?

How is the audio quality ? Is it really that much better then other phones?

If I installed viper4android would the dac be pointless or would it be a super dac basically ?

How's the battery life ?

Is it quick or does it get laggy like the G4? Thanks !!!
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonebeatz1234:

Sprint don't have the v10 or i would of had it but my guess would be a similar experience as the g4 but bigger and a extra screen .
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paladin_IMS:
Get the 6p
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisjason:
The 6P is honestly one of the worst smartphones I've heard in terms of audio quality, while the V10 is the best, so it's a night and day difference in that regard. The V10 also has the better camera from what I've seen (I haven't used the 6P extensively, a friend owns one), but the gap there isn't as big.

I'd get the T-Mobile V10, since it's only variant that allows you to unlock the bootloader so you can throw a debloated ROM on there, which was a must for me
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shwnr11:
It all depends on what your looking for in a phone.

If you want the best audio play back while plugged into the 3.5'm port, than get the V10 . But if you never use the 3.5 port than you'll never enjoy the awesome audio.

If you want the best camera around than the V10 is the way to go. There's claims that the 6P can hang with the V10, but your still going to get slightly sharper imagines from V10.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpteam6:
I need a Little help regarding identifying my version of M8

I have looked up the imie number on IMIE Data website and found that its a AT&T US Unlocked Phone.

Now when i try to flash the latest firmware for AT&T through RUU file it gets stuck at sending file stage 1/6 .... ( I have waited about 15 minutes, nothing happened)

Then I have also tried to flash unlocked version firmware and this time i have recieved ERROR 155 - IT says the device is not matching with firmware.

After that i have downloaded some apps from play store related to phone info search.

All these apps are suggesting that its a Sprint_WWE phone.

My phone does not have any logo on it or any bloat ware from the career.

I am confused now, which version of M8 i am using and which firmware RUU should i flash?

Please note: My Bootloader is in locked state and official recovery installed. Never rooted or CWM installed.

I am using this phone in Bangladesh right now so OTA is not coming to my phone.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ragarianok:
It might be AT&T branded, but, according to the CID#, your device is completely unlocked and you can basically flash anything. However, you can't flash an AT&T RUU unless you change the CID# back to the default AT&T CID.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The Sprint RUU should run fine with SuperCID (11111111).

Error 155 typically means your bootloader is unlocked (which will block RUU). Relock it with the command (run the same way you did fastboot getvar all):

fastboot oem lock

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

The Sprint version supports CDMA and GSM networks. It doesn't matter whether you are using CDMA or not, its still the "CDMA" (supports CDMA) version of the M8.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpteam6:
But on fasboot im seeing "Botloader status is locked"
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
1) The product name (m8_whl), model number (0P6B70000), and version number (x.xx.651.xx) all point to this being the Sprint version. The IMEI search coming up with AT&T is odd, and almost certainly incorrect.

2) SuperCID doesn't quite mean you can "flash anything". As ckpv5 pointed out, you can't flash GSM firmware to the Sprint (or Verizon) device, or the result is a radio brick. More commonly, even for the GSM version, you will often need to change the MID to run other version RUUs.

3) The proper version RUU will run fine with SuperCID.

What is the exact file name of the RUU you are trying to run?

That's odd. Just a mistake in the system, I'd guess. Unless the IMEI has been hacked? Hopefully not, as that usually means the device was stolen.

That just means the

current

IMEI isn't blacklisted. The purpose of changing the IMEI would be to change

from

a blacklisted IMEI, to one that is

not

blacklisted.

Not saying its definitely stolen (or if it was, could have been a former owner as we're seeing a lot of these devices change hands at this point). Just trying to puzzle out in my mind why the IMEI points to AT&T (which is clearly not correct). As I said, could just be an error in the database.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
That's PC/USB connection problem when running the lollipop RUU ... you need USB2.0 and latest HTC USB drivers.

Read this for driver part : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64926362&postcount=4

When running Marshmallow RUU exe, same case as Dev Edition, you'll get error 155 because your firmware is on lower version. RUU for Marshmallow works differently.

So .. another option for you to update to Marshmallow is using RUU zip, not RUU exe.

You can get RUU zip here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

either you flash it with sdcard method as explained in that thread, you also can fastboot flash zip RUU.zip but for this fastboot you can't use normal/google fastboot.exe, you need htc_fastboot.exe

1. Download the RUU zip in that thread

2. Download htc_fastboot.exe here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8L4pkbzdlR3eTlJSjdKVEdHX1U/view

Make a folder say "RUU" on your desktop and put both RUU zip and htc_fastboot.exe in this RUU folder

Then follow these :

Rename the RUU zip to RUU.zip (make sure you don't hide the windows extension so you won't make mistake and rename it to RUU.zip.zip)

put your device on bootloader/fastboot mode (as you get the getvar) and connect to PC

Open a command prompt from RUU folder then run below commands:

fastboot reboot-bootloader (reboot to bootloader to ensure the connection is good)

fastboot oem rebootRUU (put the device in RUU mode)

htc_fastboot flash zip RUU.zip (to install RUU)

Once complete - fastboot reboot

(You will lose all data in internal storage as RUU will wipe everything - so make a backup of your important files like photos, musics & etc)

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diji1:
I recently ordered an Nvidia Shield Tablet including the official Nvidia cover.

Can someone that already owns these two items test something for me please:

I want you to open the cover and hang the tablet from the cover with no other support.

I think it would it would be easiest if you placed the cover on something like a table and hung the tablet off the edge. Is the tablet held securely enough to not detach in this position?

Reason being that I want to hang my Shield like this over a stationary cycle monitor screen so I can game while I do cardio exercise. If the magnets are not secure enough to hold the Shield Tablet suspended like this then I need to purchase a case that fully encloses the Shield Tablet such as the ProCase SlimSnug Case.

Thank you!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joaopossamai:
It probably holds up, since the magnets are quite strong. I've held two shield tablets using each other's magnets, so your project might work, but I wouldn't trust it too much.

Alternatively, you can use a metal plate and attach the Shield to it, since it has quite strong magnets on its back.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thereaperman:
I have the k1 with the original shield cover and can hang it from the cover with no problem. I also gave it a little shake and it did not detach.

I found the magnet in the K1 to be very strong as I have a metal set of draws and my Shield almost welds itself to the top of it!!
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marduk191:
Yes it will hang alright. The 32gb original shield is significantly heavier though. I have a metal plate that I mount mine on in The office. Both the og 16gb and the k1 need no support other than some slight grain on the surface while the 32gb needs a slight support to keep it from sliding down the surface (no problems sticking). The cases work for hanging on most equipment as long as you minimize vibrations. I wouldn't trust it if the mount point has excessive vibrations as most equipment only has hard plastic or metal for a landing pad lol.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diji1:
OK so ... if anyone cares :p

Got my Shield Tablet and the posters are correct - it will hang without detaching.

*Unfortunately* it still won't work as I wish with the official case because the bendy bits just slowly collapse and it slides off the surface of whatever it's on.

Not to worry, I suspect a keyboard type non-bendy cover will do the trick.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techamazon:
Indeed. You can shake it a lot without it detaching from the magnets. You would probably have to use quite a lot of force in order for it detach (i.e throwing item of similar size to hit a ranged target).

i am new to android and roms altogether so any help is much appreciated.

I just recently got ahold of a tmobile Galaxy S3. it came with 4.3 on it i rooted it and installed the cm11 rom evrything worked out perfectly but the tap to pay functions were not working. i have searched online and see this is a common problem and was wondering if there is any working roms or fixes that will allow for the nfc to work on the phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CarlosBattousai:
Short answer nope.

Back when Google Wallet was Google's the nfc payment app(AKA when it was good) it used Secure Element that worked as long as you had a T-Mobile sim and a modded copy of Google Wallet. Later on Wallet switched to H.C.E (Host Card Emulation) as so died NFC payment on the S3.

Cyangenmod doesn't support H.C.E and Samsung stop at Android 4.2-43 which also doesn't have H.C.E support. Even if the S3 had an official 4.4 rom Samsung used some weird NPX chip that doesn't work with H.C.E anyway.

Let's say you find a way around all that Android Pay doesn't work on a custom rom or rooted devices even with the system less root method.
